Back up

Hi all
I am able to get back up VIA Database>All Tasks>Backup Database but I cannot
schedule it for particular time.
May be I am missing something but I tried all options.
Is there any other thing to do.
RegardsHi,
There are 2 options
1. Use Maintenance plan to backup the database. It has the scheduling option
2. Write ur own script and schedule it using SQL agent -- Jobs inside
Enterprise manager
1. Maintenance Plan
1. Open Enterprise maneger, Expand the Management options and select
"database Maintenance Plans"
2. Right click and select new maintenance plan
3. Click Next and select the database u need to backup and click next till
the "Database Backup Plan " screen comes
4. There you can schedule the time for backup and click next
5. In the backup disk directory , you can specify the backup folder and
click next and specify the number of backup copies to keep
6. COntinue the steps (it is prestty easy to understand)
Maintenance plans use SQL agent to schedule so ensure that SQL Agent service
run all the time in the SQL server Machine.
2. SQL Agent schedule
1. In enterprise manager -- select SQL agent - Jobs
2. Right click jobs and create new job
3. Give a name and go to Steps tab and give the TSQL command to backup
(Backup database <dbname> to disk='c:\backup\dbname.bak' with init)
4. Go to schedule tab and schedule atime for backup
Ensure that SQL Agent service run all the time in the SQL server Machine.
Thanks
